Xenoblade Chronicles 3 patch update 1.3.0 official notes: Adds compatibility for Expansion Pass Wave 3

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 patch 1.3.0 is finally live for download, and this has been one of the more anticipated patches for the game this month. This is because the update provides compatibility with the game’s Wave 3 DLC. This means that those who have purchased the third wave of DLC will now be able to access and utilize it in the game once they have downloaded and installed the patch.

The third wave will offer players new outfits, a new hero, as well as a new Challenge Battle mode.

Moreover, this is not going to be the final update that Xenoblade Chronicles 3 receives this year as the title is also set for an Expansion Wave 4. Hence it’s likely that there will be another compatibility update in the coming months.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 fans looking for a detailed description of patch 1.3.0 can look up the official website. However, for a brief overview, here are all the major highlights.
